Practice
The area 12 APD office has created a file audit check – list that is comprehensive and all inclusive. They have also, created a projected service outcome grid or template which is useful for Waiver Support Coordinators. The area office utilizes its check – off list to conduct file audits when necessary to ensure compliance.

Who Benefits? The Waiver Support Coordinator

How? The Waiver Support Coordinator benefits from clearly understanding what is needed in a file. The WSC can conduct self audits with this check list to ensure that all files are up to date and contain the necessary documents.
